If you have been struggling with weight loss, you may be considering a surgical solution, such as gastric banding surgery. Gastric banding works by fastening a band around the stomach and tightening the band, similar to a watch band. This reduces the stomach intake and creates a sense of fullness sooner when eating. The result is fewer calories consumed at each meal, which helps speed weight loss.

Of all weight loss surgery options, gastric banding is the only surgical weight loss solution that is completely reversible. Unlike gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, no part of the stomach is removed during the procedure. In addition, adjustable gastric banding has the lowest risk of complications of any form of obesity surgery.

Because there is no surgical cutting of the stomach or intestines and nothing is removed, gastric banding is the least traumatic surgical weight loss solution to the body. Another benefit of gastric banding surgery is the band is adjustable, so it can be tightened or loosened, based on the needs of the individual patient. For example, the band can be loosened to meet the additional nutritional needs of pregnancy or tightened if more restriction is needed.
